I had never noticed that the term "ideal gas law" is Platonic in nature, and how that brings in language like "deviations", unlike the ways we describe the other states of matter. I agree that the model of an ideal gases has similarities to free agents in liberalism, with historic connections as well. I worry, though, that it's too easy to cherry-pick similarities. Is it even closer to describing anarchy? I do not know enough social theory to make an informed comment on that aspect of the paper.
